We'll get a answer on Saturday, but looks like this won't be resolved for "months" if ever; the status quo for this story.

He's FOS. 10X the normal levels. Synthetic. Strip him. Next.

The result of the "B" sample test will not be available before Saturday

the process of determining whether the American cyclist is guilty of doping or whether his body naturally produced the higher than normal testosterone levels could take six months to a year

the French lab conducting the analysis

Landis should have requested that a 'neutral' lab do the test.

Stick a fork in him. He's done. Nobody makes synthetic testosterone in their bodies. Cannot be explained away.

As a French, I really hope that he's not guilty of doping, or it will be catastrophic for the Tour de France. It's a great competition, a great show, deeply rooted in french culture. In opposition to all the rubbish I can read sometimes here about a supposed plot against Floyd Landis because he's American, I can tell you that nobody has anything to win in this affair. Nor the sport, nor France, nor Landis and nor the Tour de France which is a private competition, organised by Amaury Sport Organisation, a compagny which belongs to the French press group E.P.A (Philippe Amaury Publications). A group who gonna lose a lot of money if Landis is guilty. For instance, the german TV channel ZDF is already planning to not retransmit the 2007 Tour de France...

[AmericaUnited]

Can anyone explain why a SANE person would take synthetic testosterone, knowing they test for it? I mean Landis just didn't fall off the biking turnip truck yesterday...

[Wolfie]

What's the point. Everyone will dispute the results anyway.

[jdm]

Judging by his body language on "Larry King Live," he's guilty as sin. However, I know you cannot convict (and should not convict) on body language.

[Zack Nguyen]

Professional atheltics, particularly sports like track and field, have gotten to a point where drugs are simply a prerequisite for success at the world class level. That at least is what I have read. Maybe cycling has reached this point now too. It's a shame really.

Tour de France ping! (Thanks, Vision)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my Tour de France 2006 list.

Looks like they "all" dope. Their doctors know how to cover it up, with various substances, like taking Epitestostosterone. Someone screwed up his Epi dose, he took too much, thus the 11:1 positive test. Thats one theory anyways. Its not that he took a boost shot that morning, its that his masking agent didnt work.
